The Infant-Toddler Developmental Assessment-Second Edition (IDA-2) is a comprehensive, family-centered, and multidisciplinary tool designed to identify children from birth to 3 years of age who are developmentally at risk. This six-phase process supports therapists, educators, and caregivers in creating individualized plans for intervention. The IDA-2 includes the Provence Birth-to-Three Developmental Profile, a criterion-referenced measure of development in eight areas: (1) gross motor, (2) fine motor, (3) relationship to inanimate objects, (4) language/communication, (5) self-help, (6) relationship to persons, (7) emotions and feeling states, and (8) coping behavior. Its team-based approach fosters collaboration and trust between caregivers and service providers, promoting meaningful outcomes for families. Whether you’re developing an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) or seeking to understand a child’s unique developmental profile, the IDA-2 offers a reliable and practical solution.

Six Phases

IDA-2 has six phases, the procedures for which are explained step-by-step:

1. Referral & Pre-interview Data Gathering - to confirm the referral; to gather and assimilate preliminary information about the family and child; and to make initial contact with the family.
2. Initial Parent Interview - to elicit parental concerns during the assessment; to obtain information about the child's history, health, and development as they pertain to the referral concerns; to gather information about the family that has relevance to the child's development.
3. Health Review - to gather and organize health information from the parents, primary care provider, medical records, and sources; to conduct the health review and complete the Health Recording Guide; and to consider the role of health factors on the child's development.
4. Developmental Observation and Assessment - to create a profile of the child's development along multiple lines based on obtained information.
5. Integration and Synthesis - to review the information gathered throughout the course of the assessment; to consider the need for consultation; to integrate and summarize findings; to identify program options; and to prepare for and schedule a conference with the parents.
6. Share Findings, Completion, and Report - to bring the assessment to completion, share findings, and develop a plan with parents and facilitate entry into services.

Scoring and Interpretation

The IDA-2 is criterion-referenced. Throughout the IDA-2 process, practitioners gather information from multiple sources, integrate that information in a meaningful way, and create a plan of action. Duplication of effort and information is eliminated. This saves time and money, reduces the stress created by more fragmented approaches, and yields more complete information. The IDA-2 process leads to efficient, informed decisions. The IDA-2 Complete Kit now includes the IDA-2 Online Recording and Report System which scores the IDA-2 Record and provides a comprehensive online record-keeping option for the IDA-2 team-based and family-centered approach to developmental assessment.
